“I love breakfast at South Cobb Diner. My dad and I like to go there. Yesterday, I took him on an outing from his assisted living facility, and he had salmon, slaw, and green beans. He ate every bite! It was so delicious and tasty. I always like the egg and veggie scramble. I always find the service fast and the staff great.“

Every time I visit, the customer service is consistently excellent — the staff always makes you feel welcome and cared for. The food is equally amazing: fresh, flavorful, and always cooked to perfection. You can really tell they put love into every dish. If you’re looking for a place that combines great hospitality with delicious, authentic soul food, RC’s is it. I highly recommend it — you won’t be disappointed!“

“Whoa!!!! They sho can cook!!!!!I got the grilled chicken (no sauce NEEDED)baked beans and that smackin mac and cheese. It was Bussin Bussin!!! YOU WILL SEE ME AGAIN... just go ahead and get you a 2nd plate cuz you not saving NOTHING from that first “

“This location is nice and clean but also terrible at listening and making our orders correct. I bring an elderly parent here at least twice and week and in eight months of visits, our orders have been 100% correct maybe 25% of the time. Something is is ALWAYS wrong or left off. I’m wondering if someone in the kitchen is literally reading challenged or is everyone just not listening. The East Cobb CSC only messed up once in five years of regular visits and that was because of a computer crash.“

“I couldn't wait to go to Bojangles before and after my visit to the Big Georgia Peach. Bojangles originally started in Memphis, Tn. (If I'm not mistaken) on Lamar. It was the only one. The Best Fried chicken you could have ever eaten. Don't ask how old I am, (lol) but I was a little girl at the time. And it hasn't changed since I had eaten it when I was little. The cashier and the other lady helping her were awesome. Beautiful personality and customer service was Top Notch. Kudos to whomever was consistently cooking chicken n biscuits because we ended up getting 20 pc. And went back to get some for home. Sweet tea was soooo good!! I'm giving Bojangles a 10� Signed Memphis misses you already!�“

“The crust on the catfish is too thick and the pork chops could be breaded lighter maybe without bones. The waitress and the owner are very friendy and food is generally good and tasty. The desert poetions are undersized but I still enjoy the place“

“FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! YOU MUST TRY!!!!!“

“First time visiting the restaurant even though it's been here in Douglasville approximately two years. My husband and I came in and was trying them out! They are black owned and very nice. The food was very good! I had the lamb ("not gyro") and my husband had the traditional Philly cheesesteak. I give them a five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Come Home Eatery

A friend and some of his friends had visited this business one two occasions and kept talking about how good the food was. I visited this business on 8/6/25 because I was hungry for some vegetables and didn’t want to cook. I purchased two meals…one was a vegetable plate and one plate had vegetables and pork neck bones. The soul food was the best experience I’ve had in some time. The cabbage, macaroni and cheese and lima beans were great. They weren’t salty nor did they have sugar in them. ALL THEY HAD WAS FLAVOR. The broth on the neck bones was not dark and they weren’t salty but were FULL of flavor. The cornbread was NOT sweet and was delicious. And to add to everything else, the portions were great. The food wasn’t good because I was hungry…it was good because they can cook and know how to season the food for flavor. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Great atmosphere, food was amazing! Brisket was on point, okra, Brunswick stew is the best I ever tried, mac n cheese was perfect, greens were great! We will be back soon!“

“I dined at this place yesterday and had a delightful experience. The cashier (Aster) , manager (Charles) , and waitress (Chris) all provided excellent service, making me feel welcomed and well-attended to throughout my visit. That was my first time and I was happy with my visits so far. I want to acknowledge Charles for welcoming me with a big smile. There was a big line in front of me and no body was helping him but he was helping me with smile and patience. I want to give him the credit for making my visit enjoyable. I had fried chicken and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for both the quality of the service and the food. Definitely worth a visit!“

“It was my first time there, though I’d seen the place for years. I’d moved to another area of town so I never got a chance to dine there. I recently was in the area and craving barbecue and I remember Jim n Nick’s. Hooray! I ordered the 2lb classic rib with baked bean and Mac and cheese. The mini cheese muffins and sweet butter spread was unexpected and awesome. And 5 minutes later my order was on the table and looking delicious. When I ate the first rib I was in love, food love. The best ribs I’ve eaten so far. I am looking forward to visiting again with friends. I want to experience more items on the menu.“

“They cancel or reservation because they thought we left. (we were standing outside) drinks took 30 mins (got our first refill at 1hr 45 min mark) waitress didn't put our order in so we waited over 2 hours for food 9 staff only one person working. Just incompetence all around shout out to the white guy bussing tables. the only one really working.“
